    Which team wins a Front Office / Coaching Baseball Tournament

    Might I suggest that an interesting twist would be to "put together the best roster (All-Star) of front office execs and uniformed coaches across MLB." Maybe that's a breakout thread? When we add "special assistant," that's just about anyone who retired and can get their team some publicity.

    It certainly got misty up in here.

    2023 WS Game/Discussion Thread: 2021 100+ Game Loser Edition

    I wasn't quite sure of my rooting interest in this series (other than 7 games) but this story sealed my slight pull for Arizona. https://www.mlb.com/news/featured/world-series-nicole-hazen-mike-hazen-love-story

    Let's enjoy memories of the Red Sox of the past 20 years! What were your favorites (team/player/moment/etc)?

    Thank you for starting this thread! I have to share two memories, the first was the Tokyo Dome Series in 2008, I got to meet a lot of SOSH and although I'm fairly shy by nature, I enjoyed watching our team win one and commiserate with some of you as we lost the second. I also got down to field...

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    I have no original thoughts to add to everyone's sadness over this news, I just want you all to know that I'm glad I'm in this community to commiserate with you at times like these.

    The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom

    I agree with this. I had a feeling this was coming, not necessarily because I thought Bloom wasn't doing a good job, but more because I thought HIS bosses would let him take the fall. I think Cora is too popular in the clubhouse to let go right now, but if he were to go, I would look at this as...

    The racist incident that shook baseball nine years before integration

    I read this earlier. Disturbing how willing to excuse the casual racism so many were in this article.

    8/25/23 - Los Angeles at Boston

    I don't think those of you in the U.S. get to see the in-between innings feed, but there was a "welcome back" tribute to our 2018 WS champions, tilt, and of course Mookie. Mookie was talking to the guy next to him in the dugout and it was a little unclear to me if the conversation was more "I...

    A’s have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a future ballpark in Las Vegas.

    Oh, yes, I should have remembered the Braves. Did not know that the Browns were once the Brewers.

    A’s have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a future ballpark in Las Vegas.

    This is heartbreaking. I first went to the Oakland Coliseum in 1979 and it was gorgeous pre-Mount Davis, much better than Candlestick back then. I have been post-Mount Davis as well and it's a dump, but the fans were still great (this was 2003.) Losing the Warriors, Raiders, and now the A's is a...

    4/15 Thank You for Sending Me an Angel

    My first two games at Fenway were against the Angels. The first in 1986 when a ninth-inning comeback started a long winning streak that led to the division crown.

    Those championship hats are pretty sharp. I want one next year.

    Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

    Happy for Dusty. Thank you SOSH for a lot of laughs in a year in which our team was hard to watch. Dunno if I will get the MLB.tv package next year or not so I may not game thread much, we shall see.
